The Fourth-Section WORRY.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Secretary
Moseley to-day received nufnerohsly
signed petition from citizens of California
requesting the interstate commerce COM
mission not to suspend the operation of
section of the interstate commerce law. so
far as the commerce of the Pacific coast
is concerned, until an opportunity be
afforded all persons interested to be heard.
The petition. however, approves of the
suspension of section on articles reQuir-
ing low rates and transit for long dis
tances, and asks for favorable considera-
ton of resolutions recently adopted by the
San Francisco chamber of commerce. which
were also received by Secretary Moseley
to. day. The resolutions referred
to favor the exception of such
special cases as absolutely require transit
or on merchandise requiring low rates for a
long haul from the operation of section
4. A communication from the chamber
of commerce of Tacoma, w. T., was re-
ceived asking that transcontinental lines
be exempted from the 4th section.

Another Free Pass Question.

ST. Lotus, April 2S.-The following
letter explains itself:
Washington, April 19.-To Sisters of St.
Joseph. st. Louis, Mo-: Yours of the 18th
inst. requesting that the railroad companies
be authorized to give you free transportation
as they have been accustomed to do, has been
received and considered. and the commission
regrets that it can make no order upon them
for your benefit. The railroad company must
determine themselves what shall be their
policy in the granting OF favors TO persons
engaged in religious works. The statute in
plain terms allows the giving of reduced rates
to ministers of religion, and if they are given
on some general and impartial rule, no queS-
ton Of its legality could arise, and no railroad
company could have occasion to fear penal
ties. Very respectfully yours,
T. NJ. COOLEY,
Chairman Interstate Commission.

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

Temperance lecturers who have been hold
ing up EDGAR A. Poe, the poet of gloom and
sadness, as horrible example, will be sur
prised to learn that Poe did not die in a
drunken spree nor was he habitually intem-
perate. An article in the forthcoming June
number of Health and Home, written by MARC
o. ROLF, forever sets at rest the scandalous
stories which have been circulated and be-
lieved in semi-literary circles concerning the
author of that weird aud famous poem 1.-The
Raven"
A.*
There can be no doubt that POE sometimes
drank to excess, but his intemperance was
confined to the transition period from growth
TO manhood. After reaching the years of ma
turity he did not lead the dissolute life which
has been ascribed to him by his enemies 1t
is impossible that he could have been the
wavward man he has been pictured, and yet
have crowded so much brilliant work into his
short life. AS poet, editor, essayist, COM
piler. story teller and lecturer he left his i'm
print on every department of the worlds lit
erature. and his fame is as great in France,
Spain and Germany, where his works have
been translated and extensively read, as it is
here or in England.
~
In Vlndicatlon OF the DETAINED poets men,
DRY Mr. ROLF has gathered abundant testi-
mony to prove the falsehood of the stories
that he was an hubitual drunkard aud that he
| died the death of a sot as the result of de-
bauchery and exposure. Poe was u man of
msfortunes, and disappointments were his
hourly companions. He cared little for
money and possessed no business qualifca-
TONS His was gloomy, unhappy soul, and
that his life was stormy must be believed
when that fact is considered in connection
with his poverty, his sensitiveness and his
bitter struggles with the world and his own
morbid nature.
-
The story of POES death, as told by Mr..
| ROLF and substantiated by confirmatory tes-
timony, is that the poet reached Baltimore
| from Richmond about O'Clock in the even
ing. perfectly sober and neatly dressed in
broadcloth, as was his custom. The elegance
of PoE's person aroused the cupidity of GER

NORTH w ESTERN CENTENNIAL.
Of all the original states Virginia has the
most reason to look with pride upon the de-
velopment of the vast region lying north
and west of the Ohio river and east of the
Mississippi, formerly known as the North
west territory. This imperial domain, en-
bracing the five great states OF Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin,
and all that part of Minnesota which in
cludes the cities of st. Paul. Minneapolis
oils, Duluth and Saltwater was the princely
gift Of the Old Dominion to the general gov
eminent. AS early as 1871 the Legislature
of Virginia submitted to congress propo-
sition to give the states vast landed possess
sions in the Northwest for the benefit of
the general government Two years later
MI. BLAND, representative from Viz
ginia, introduced d measure in congress to
divide the Western wilderness into districts.
each district to be recognized as a state as
soon as it contained 10000 inhabitants.
This proposition was not adopted But in
July. 1887. congress passed the famous or
dinance flor the government northwest
of the Ohio" Under the benign pro,
visions OF this comprehensive act the will
derness has become fruitful and the desert
has blossomed as rose. For century
sons of toll, with large families, and hearts
big with hope, have found homes of
plenty in the land coded by Virginia, and
there is yet room for as many more.
The population of the Northwest under the
operations of the ordinance of 1887 has be
come the most energetic and intelligent in
the world. There is no country in the
world of equal area where there is to-day
more prosperity, thrift, enterprise and ill
telligence than in this region which Viz
ginia in a spirit of unparalleled generosity
donated to the federal government cen
tury ago. There is peculiar and eminent
fitness in tine people now dwelling within
the limits of the old Northwestern terri
tory celebrating the centennial of the ordi-
nance of 1857. 1t is therefore with pleas
ure the GLOBE publishes call this morn
ing signed by number Of our oldest and

event to visit the senate chamber at the

THE NEW SOCIAL PROBLEM,


Baltimore society is very much agitated
over discussion conducted in the news
papers of that city between two well-kn0wn
young society ladies', the subject of the
controversy being which makes the best
wife-a country or city girl. The discus
sion is ably conducted and the articles writ
ten by the two ladies are of the most inter-
esting character, Both ladies are popular
and each has large partisan following.
Independent of their personal acquaintance
society at large has become interested in
the discussion until the whole city is in
foment over the matter. Interest has
spread into the rural districts of Maryland
and into the adjoining states, with the
prospect that the subject is to assume ma
tional Importance. 1t would be a good
thing if it did. 1t would be a great relief
to the majority OF people in this country to
get rid of all this commotion about the
tariff. civil service. the second term, the inter-
state commerce law, the long and short haul
clause, the calling in of free passes, section
alism and the thousand and one other
things of public nature which have
tendency to make people tired, and to get
around to discussion of serious and senSi-
BILE matters which pertain to everyday life.
The young men OF this generation, and
some of the old ones too, are thousand
times more interested in knowing what
kind of a woman will make the best wife
than they are in the settlement of that i'll
ternational trouble about the fisheries The
Baltimore disputants are handling the SUBJ
ject with so much ability on their respective
sides it is difficult to tell which is going to
get the best of it. After reading one of
Miss SELENE'S articles one is convinced
that the city girls make the best wives, and
that the popular impression about the
domestic tendencies of the rural maidens is
all moonshine. But these convictions melt
away under the fire of Miss BELLS argu
ment, who contraverts Miss SELENE in
such a frank and vigorous way that the
average young Baltimore man feels the im-
pulse to rush right away to the country in
search of rustic milkmad to fill
his home with that domestic bliss,
which, according to MILTON. is the
only happiness that survived the fall. Min
nesota will sooner or later feel the force of
this new social agitation, but it will hardly
reach the same intensity of heat that it has
in the East. Locality has very little to do
with the superiority of wQmanhood among
our Northwestern girls. They are lovable
and adorable no matter where they live
whether it is in city mansion or in dingy
little sod house on the prairie. AS long as
the average Northwestern girl is able to
make a living for herself and can helm Sun-
port her husband, the average young man
is more concerned about getting the girl
than he is about where she lives
